ABS-CBN News

MANILA, Philippines - Sultry star Cristine Reyes said that she is hoping to spend Christmas with her sister, Ara Mina.

"I hope, I hope. Hindi napuputol yung hope ko," she said.

She also stressed that until now, she is doing her best to reach out to Mina.

"Hindi po ako tumitigil sa pagri-reach out na maayos. My sister Heidi is communicating with her and she still doesn't want to talk to me. I think hindi pwedeng madaliin so huwag nating piliin," she said.

Mina filed libel raps against Reyes last April after an alleged dispute over the remaining balance for a house they bought for their mother.

Mina filed charges of libel and grave coercion against younger sister Cristine Reyes not to claim money but to "teach her a lesson" for her attitude.

In the interview, Reyes also cleared issue that she badmouthed her own mother.
